James and John approach Jesus and tell him what they want.

Just a few thoughts

·         National Sorry Day - We pray for the whole Australian community, that National Sorry Day and Reconciliation Week will promote mutual respect between the First Nations and settler peoples of the land.  --  Lord, hear us.

·         National Sorry Day

·         I don’t really know what reconciliation means any more.

It’s been 20 years since we walked over bridges, signed petitions and wrote sorry in the sky, over 10 years since we said we were going to close the gap, 30 years since we held a royal commission into Aboriginal deaths in custody and 30 years since the Yothu Yindi song Treaty was number one on the pop charts.

But why does it feel like we still can’t shift the dial on black and white relations?
Why, when we ask for a constitutionally enshrined voice to oversee our sovereign rights is it met with political obstruction?
Why can’t people see the logic?
